Birds population and research: El Jaguar is a sanctuary for
a large number of birds, migratory and residents. In April 2002
a research team from the COCIBOLCA Foundation as part of the
National Important Bird Areas Program from Bird Life International,
financed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF),
rediscovered in El Jaguar, for the first time in Nicaragua since
1891, the Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia). At

to 200 species. These results show the importance to conserve
El Jaguar as a very important habitat for birds.
